Ct rtain by cable from the chairman OF the
Council OF Foreign Bondholders the time

arrive In Richmond.
Mr.. Rhea asked that the rules be sus-
pended and the resolution be adopted
at once. He thought it important that
the General Assembly should receive
this information as soon as possible, in
order that recess may be taken and
not allow the whole or greater portion
of the session to be consumed before
the commission reaches here.

tirely too hasty. suggesting that the
Governor be requested to furnish the
Senate with a copy the cablegram sent
to the bondholders on Friday.
Mr.. Heaton was anxious to receive
the information asked for in the resolu-
ton, but thought it better to wait day
longer to hear from the creditors.
The Senate refused to suspend the
rules.

sidered, on motion of Mr.. Thurman.
